How do I remove the highlighter from my carpet

To remove the factory highlighter from your carpet, you must follow a few simple steps, just do this:

Mix one tablespoon of each ingredient in two cups of cold water.
Then wet a lint-free cloth with this mixture and start dabbing at the stain.
This will free up a good portion of the water in the carpet, so the stain will get into the cloth.
You should not soak the surrounding area as this may cause the dye to seep through.
Repeat this step several times for about 10 minutes, then blot the area with a dry, lint-free white cloth.
Turn the bath often to prevent the dye from getting back into your carpet, now it's time to clean the soap out.
Rinse the damp cloth and squeeze to remove excess water.
Then wipe the area to remove the soap residue and squeeze out the excess water.
Take another dry cloth and pat the area until the excess water is absorbed into your carpet.

If you are unable to remove the stain this way, you can use rubbing alcohol.

But first you should do a small test on an inconspicuous area as the alcohol may stain your carpet.

If the test proved to be safe, you can do this:

Pour in paper towel, a small amount of alcohol to clean the ink.
But if the stain is very large and very full, you can rub the alcohol on it directly (with the paper towel).
After rubbing with the solution, rub with moderate pressure on the carpet.
Just watch frequently to see if the dye is coming out.
In this case it’s time to continue the procedure with several paper towels so that the ink does not penetrate again in your carpet.
Wash the area and in a bowl mix a few drops of dish liquid soap in two cups of cold water.
Then wet a white lint-free cloth with the solution and rub the Stain.
